2024-25 49er MBB Game #6 vs East Tennessee 11/27 2PM ESPN+

I like Fearne but we don’t play defense or rebound. It will be a very long season if that isn’t fixed.

Having flashbacks of Wissel ball.

We don’t shoot well either.

because this game is so ugly, question: has there been any good athletes with roman numerals after their last name (ie. III, or Braswell IV)? I know there has been some good Jr’s and Sr’s. Only one I can think of is Robert Griffin III and he was OK.

Last year was a talented team that felt betrayed by Sanchez, so they had something to prove. Including coaches. Losing the last game and the showing today says a lot about this team, fearne and what the season is going to look like. Another lost season to add to the pile of the last two decades.

We aren’t competing against teams that are much worse off than us though. This is crazy bad should have been undefeated on this home stand.

Agree but defense and rebounding is mostly effort. If we don’t have effort just to do those 2 simple things, there is a big problem.

But are they much worse than us? We have one guy who we paid NIL for not playing and now Rosado who we paid NIL for on the bench. I just don’t think we are very talented.

Ricky Council IV of 2020 class from Durham. We didn’t recruit him (though we pursue an older brother in 2104 class). Played at Wichita State and Arkansas. Now with the 76ers.

I agree. I’m just saying it’s not like our last two opponents were breaking the bank to buy their team either.

Oh how we long for the days of Max, Wat, Massey, Chad, Dink, Henry, Jarvis, Basden, Withers, leemire, Plavich, Jobey. Diego, Galen, Demarco, Colsen, etc.

Right and since the players we paid aren’t really playing then not sure we can argue we should be winning these. Last game was def on Fearne, here I think we see we just don’t have the talent.

As an old Niner Fan (class of 77) this is looking very much like Wissel ball. Have seen nothing positive in the second half. If this keeps up, we will end the season with single digit wins.

We’re paying guys money for this? Every single portal guy looks like a whiff except Rosado

Davidson going to kill us with their Foreign players and we are the one with a Foreign Coach that has coached internationally.

After the last game, Fearne should have lit a fire in this team. If he did and they didn’t respond, that’s bad. If he didn’t, that’s bad. Either way this is a joke. This season is over. Happy Thanksgiving.

So Jackson finally did something after mostly a ho-hum season so far. Even worse than Lu’Cye.

I feel he did but it only lasted 15 min. We had momentum then fizzled per usual. Ultimately I agree but it’s the dudes this year. We just don’t have any grit
